8.7 Splicing
Select the proper splice program in the menu (Singlemode, Multimode or OM1 fiber).
- Make sure a reset has been performed since last splice.
- Make sure that the fibers/ V-groove are clean.
Are the fibers properly aligned?
If both fibers look good and clean, press the „SPLICE“
button and the automatic splice procedure will take
place (moving the fibers together, igniting the spark,
melting the glass together, make a pull test and
estimate a loss value

8.6 Place the cleaved and ready fiber in the Infralan® Splicer
Open up the main lid (on top) of the splicer and lift up the little bracket on top of the V-groove.
Place the fiber holders in their wagons. Keep the fiber holder at the right angle and move it pass
its intended resting place. Lay the
holder down and let it slide back into
position (where the magnets will lock
it). Don´t try to push them in place from
the outer position as it will be very hard
to make the
fiber fall in place into the V-groove and
it may break. See picture below
Close the bracket over the V-groove
and lock the fibers in position.
Close the main lid
The fiber should now be visible in the monitor like in
